Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Assessment of Analytical Thinking and Decision-Making Processes

Female football players' analytical thinking skills will be evaluated through decision-making simulations and video-based training (VBT).

Time frame: day 1

Assessment of Analytical Thinking and Decision-Making Processes-Accuracy

Female football players' analytical thinking skills will be evaluated through decision-making simulations and video-based training (VBT).

Time frame: day 1

Assessment of Analytical Thinking and Decision-Making Processes-Error Rates

Female football players' analytical thinking skills will be evaluated through decision-making simulations and video-based training (VBT).

Time frame: day 1

Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia-Reaction Times

The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia is a 17-item scale developed to assess fear of movement and reinjury. It includes parameters related to work activities, injury/reinjury, and fear-avoidance behaviors. The scale uses a 4-point Likert scoring system (1 = Strongly Disagree, 4 = Strongly Agree). After reversing the scores of items 4, 8, 12, and 16, a total score is calculated, ranging from 17 to 68, where higher scores indicate greater kinesiophobia.

Time frame: day 1

Reaction Time Measurement (Using Blazepod)

Blazepod devices will be used to measure the reaction speed and agility of female football players. Pods will be randomly placed and programmed to flash at specific intervals. Participants will be required to respond quickly to the flashing pods, with their reaction times recorded in milliseconds. Statistical data such as correct and incorrect response rates will also be obtained.

Time frame: day 1

Y-Balance Test

Evaluates balance by measuring reach distances in anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions.
